But I think it's one of the worst adaptation I've seen. I'm not very demanding and I'm not the kind of people who want the film to be exactly like the book. I know that this is quite impossible since the medium is different. However, what I'm waiting for is the same kind of atmosphere and suspense, which was not at all the case here and I think even without having read the book it is a bad movie as such.Morganehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573486728101758669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32115484.post-19054492758072142252007-12-10T23:27:00.000+01:002007-12-10T23:27:00.000+01:00well well, what a surprise!

I nearly went to see it myself this afternoon but then i remembered i had to see my parents from time to time so i went straight home after class... <BR/>I guess it's always the same bitter disappointment that awaits you when you're really fond of a book and that you see its movie adaptation afterwards, only in really rare cases can you enjoy both (i'm thinking of LOTR here). <BR/>I'm also quite fan of Philip Pullman's works in general, and particularly of his trilogy, so i guess i will avoid another letdown and follow your advice (that is, reread the books), no need to give them more money than they deserve!pierre-yveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03195631181872196075noreply@blogger.com
